  • Former UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria leads the list of undefeated UFC fighters.
  • Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev were the first fighters on the list to win a UFC title.
  • All fighters on the list are 30 years old and below and have at least seven professional MMA victories.

Being an undefeated fighter in any combat sport is a gigantic task to accomplish, primarily in MMA, as one punch or moment can change the outcome of a match. 

Khabib Nurmagomedov is the best example of this incredible feat as the Russian athlete retired from the UFC with a perfect 29-0 record and as the undisputed lightweight champion, which is why we wish there were UFC odds on his returning to the Octagon.

Here are your top five active undefeated UFC fighters in 2025 (as of June 26), many of whom have favourable UFC fight odds each time they face an opponent.

Ilia Topuria (17-0)

The Georgian-Spanish powerhouse recently knocked out the former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira to become the 10th UFC fighter to win two division titles.

Topuria has left a devastating path of destruction by beating Youssef Zalal, Damon Jackson, Ryan Hall, Jai Herbert, Bryce Mitchell, Josh Emmett, Max Holloway, and Alexander Volkanovski to become the undisputed UFC featherweight champion and eventually moved up in the 155-pound weight class.

Before coming into the UFC, “El Matador” already had eight wins, all from stoppages (seven submissions and one knockout) from the MMA organizations he competed in, like the Cage Warriors and BRAVE Combat Federation. This impressive run has earned him a UFC contract.

Michael Morales (18-0)

Michael Morales is an MMA fighter from Ecuador who has carved out a name for himself in the UFC with his incredible one-punch knockout power. His route to the UFC was through the Dana White Contender Series in 2021, where he won his fight against Nikolay Veretennikov to earn a spot in the promotion’s roster.

Since then, he maintained his perfect professional MMA record of 18-0, coming off a win against former UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns. Aside from Burns, Morales also defeated the likes of Trevin Giles, Adam Fugitt, Max Griffin, Jake Matthews, and Neil Magny.

This six-fight win streak has helped him secure a slot in the top 15 rankings of the 170-pound weight class and now sits at the number seven spot.

Khamzat Chimaev (15-0)

Khamzat Chimaev is arguably the hottest prospect today in the UFC. With 14 wins (nine in the UFC), Chimaev has indeed burst into stardom. He’s coming off his championship triumph against Dricus Du Plessis in the main event of UFC 318 last Aug. 16 with a lopsided unanimous decision victory.

Due to his top-tier wrestling skills, he’s poised to become a titleholder for a significant amount of time in the 185-pound weight class. His other several victories under the Las Vegas-based promotion include Gilbert Burns, Kevin Holland, Kamaru Usman, and Robert Whittaker.

Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0)

One of the fast-rising welterweight contenders in the UFC today is Shavkat Rakhmonov, who holds a record of 18 wins with no losses. The fighter from Kazakhstan has won all six UFC fights so far and barged into the 170-pound division rankings.

Rakhmonov has finished the likes of Alex Oliveira, Michel Prazeres, Carlston Harris, Neil Magny, and Geoff Neal. He maintained his 100% record against Ian Garry in his most recent match in December 2024 at UFC 310 with a unanimous decision victory.

Before signing with the UFC in 2020, Rakhmonov already racked up 12 wins from different MMA organizations, including title wins in KZMMAF and M-1 Challenge. If the 30-year-old athlete can continue this rate of piling up wins, a title shot should be on the horizon for him.

Movsar Evloev (19-0)

Another Russian currently undefeated in the UFC is Movsar Evloev, with 16 wins. Evloev is riding a six-fight winning streak in the Las Vegas-based promotion. He signed with the UFC in 2019, debuted against SeungWoo Choi, and picked up a unanimous decision win.

The now-American Top Team representative followed up this win with four more decision victories over Enrique Barzola (in October 2019), Mike Grundy (in June 2020), Nik Lentz (in Hakeem Dawodu (in June 2021), Dan Ige (in June 2022), Diego Lopes (in May 2023). His latest casualty is former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, whom he defeated via unanimous decision in December 2024.

This win earned him the fifth spot in the featherweight division rankings. Before joining the leading MMA promotion in the world, Evloev dominated the M1 Global, where he collected ten victories en route to becoming the featherweight champion. He scored seven stoppages (four submissions and three TKO/KO wins).
